Yesterday I went to watch a Hindi movie after a long time! I think the last one I saw in the theatre was Rang De Basanti or Bunti Aur Bubli or Black. Whichever came last!
So yeah yesterday I went to watch Cocktail with a few friends from work. The movie starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty and Boman Irani.
*SPOILER ALERT*
The first half of the movie was rather funny and I laughed quite a bit in spite of my pathetic command over the language. The crux of the plot is a love triangle (which Bollywood movie doesn't have that plot!!).
Boman Irani played his role really well, and to be honest I quite enjoyed myself in the first half. The second half was another story altogether. The movie failed to grasp my attention and became predictable. The final scene showed Saif attempting to propose to Diana for what seemed like eternity. I'm sure battles have been won in shorter durations! In the end I think he didn't even say the exact words and Diana probably just said "Yes" just to shut him up.
The movie has its fair share of corny dialogue like "I like the way you smell" and all I could think of was 'He should fart now'. It's not a guy thing cause even a friend of mine thought the same!
Bottom line: The movie isn't worth 300 bucks. 150 would be more appropriate. In fact I'd suggest giving it a skip altogether because it really isn't great. Unless a trip to the theatre has been long overdue and you must go for something!
